Hello all,

From Excel I'm trying to send a URL to a web page, which returns an
embedded Excel document, copy the data out and paste it into my current
Excel workbook. The problem is that after the followHyperlink, a
Columns("A:G").Select grabs the data on my Excel worksheet, not on the
IE worksheet. I can't figure out how to activate the IE Excel WS so I
can do the select data and copy. How do I toggle between the IE and
Excel application or window.



Here is an example:



Sub openWebGetData()





ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink _

Address:="http://table.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=INTC&a=07&-
b=9&c=2003&d=09&e=12&f=2003&g=d&ignore=.csv", _

NewWindow:=True





Application.Windows(1).ActiveWindow 'I know this is wrong





Columns("A:G").Select

Selection.Copy

Windows("MyFlie.xls").Activate



Sheets.Add

ActiveSheet.Paste



ActiveWorkbook.Close





End Sub



Thanks in advance for the help, (e-mail address removed)

I guess you would have much better chances to receive some good
advices if you post this in an Excel news group.
